DOUBLE WEEKENDER workshops

For those you of not on holiday at the moment or perhaps spending your holiday in Hackney, I've planned some special double weekender activities!Starting this weekend with a YARD SALE. Come and nosey around Fabrications back yard and make me an offer on more delights cleared out of Fabrications vaults! Including Belfast sinks, sheet perspex, wood, scaffolding + fittings, paint, DIY stuff and lots of other random items.

The idea of the double weekender workshops is to provide one technique per weekend. On the Saturday a quick taster session at our activity stall in Broadway Market's new extension in London Fields primasry school with a longer masterclass at Fabrications on the Sunday. Come along to one or both!

Saturday 28th + Sunday 29th August - 'Create a fabulous fascinator'

SATURDAY: Book in for 1hr teaching slots - 10 - 11am, 11.30 - 12.30pm, 1 - 2pm, 2.30 - 3.30pm *In this session using a selection of vintage materials and haberdashery you will learn how to create a base and then decorate it from a choice of veiling, feathers, flowers and beading.PRICE: £10 (includes one of my fascinator kits worth £10)* There is a gazebo, tables and chairs. The activity is suitable for all ages and abilities. To ensure a space please book in advance, however if you are a spontaneous kind of person we will try and fit you in on the day if there's space!
